Constantly free updated and accurate thing is good to have. Steve Rubel links to Wikinews proposal page. A blurb from Mission statement. “to create a free source of news, where every human being is invited to contribute reports about events large and small, either from direct experience, or summarized from elsewhere. Wikinews is founded on the idea that we want to create something new, rather than destroy something old. It is founded on the belief that we can, together, build a great and unique resource which will enrich the media landscape.”
I like the idea. Can be a great success if well managed. The only thing that I am worried thinking about is how much neutral the news could be? Aren't we all a bit bias somewhere or the other? With Wikinews I will be able to read from small news to big events, interesting and not so interesting to me. Well if this project goes ahead than there will be one more thing that will overwhelm us with information. I will think more about this as the project moves ahead.
